Congress leader informed that in last seven months since the new government took over, not a single work is been undertaken in the constituencies belonging to opposition MLAs.

Ruling legislators have been asked to submit their respective proposals with an upper of limit of Rs 15 crore immediately by this month and the remaining Rs 10 crore by March, 2018. The proposals will be placed before the public works department accordingly.
